Foolish question No. 7-11-44: “How
much did cotton go up today?”
And what, may we ask, has become
of the old-fashioned man - who was
holding his cotton for 60 cents a
pound ? %
In this matter of “taking your loss
and making a fresh start,” everybody,
as usual, seems to.think it is another
case of “Let George do it.”
As the Columbia Record remarked
th«* other day, with the present skirt
styles in vogue, it behooves milady to
see if her knee cap is on straight be
fore venturing out.- ,
Surprising, isn’t it, how many peo
ple one meets nowadays who knew
that the bottom was going to drop
out of prices along about this time?
The only thing that keeps us’from be-
thc moat human* people; peo
ple with more Initiative than obtains
among any other people on forth.
Then we have a country whose unlim
ited natural resources represent
wealth untold. We were coming to
the mastership of the wealth of the
world before tha War. For instance,
in 1913 this country produced $14,-
000,000,000 more than it consumed.
Then the War came on and our pro
duction was hurried until iiT 1917 we
produced ^$18,000,000,000 more than
we consumed.
We loaned to the nations of Europe
in excess of $30,000,000,000. With
the exception of some $3,000,000,-
000, this money remained in America
and was spent by the borrowers in our
markets. It was not taken out of
America—it is here still. Since the
War closed hundreds of millions of
gold have been sent into the United
States by foreign countries in pay
ments on their debts.
Then in 1919 our production was
the largest in the history of the coun
try. We produced more goods than
we did in 1917, and we had an eager
market for everything we produced,
and all we sold brought the money to
America—it’s here.
Take this statement by John Fletch

more than anything else, after I had the influenza. It is a great system-

has been proved by the good results obtained by thousands of men and
